Glassman holds key vote in move to oust GOP chairman By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — While most local Republicans watch from the sidelines, Alan Glassman of Barnstead, chairman of the Belknap County Republican Committee, and Skip Murphy of Gilford, who operates the conservative blog Granite Grok, are in the thick of the struggle over the fate of Republican Party chairman Jack Kimball. see GOP page 10

HOLDERNESS — Calling the flooding in Plymouth and Holderness the worst he’d ever seen in those towns, Governor John Lynch said yesterday he’d ask the federal government to declare the areas affected by heavy rains on Sunday as disaster zones, a designation which would make federal dollars available for cleanup and repair efforts.

Lynch made the statement after touring, via helicopter, flooding damage in Hart’s Location, Lincoln, Plymouth and the section of Holderness containing athletic facilities of Plymouth State University.

Lynch noted that the federal government had already consented to a request that the state be declared a pre-disaster area, meaning that efforts by the state, municipalities and non-profit organizations to prepare for the storm could

be reimbursed at the rate of 75-percent.

“That helps quite a bit,” he said. After seeing on Monday damage from the heavy rains that fell as a tropical storm — remnants of Hurricane Irene — moved through the state the day before, Lynch felt the Federal Emergency Management Agency would agree that parts of the state constituted a disaster. The worst damage, he noted, would be found in Carrol, Grafsee FLOOdING page 12

so fast that Vermont officials feared they might have to take the extraordinary step of flooding the state capital of Montpelier to relieve pressure on a dam.

“We prepared for the worst and we got the worst in central and southern Vermont,” Gov. Peter Shumlin said. “It’s just devastating — whole communities under water. ... We’re tough folks here in Vermont, but Irene really ... hit us hard.”

The destruction was etched across the landscape: highways washed out by fastmoving water, bridges and homes crumpled into heaps of broken planks and streets filled with mud thick enough to stop heavy duty vehicles in their tracks.

The images were much the same in upstate New York, where buildings that had withstood a century of hard win-

ters and spring floods were carried away.

The floodwaters upended cars and trucks and sent trees tumbling down rivers like matchsticks.

“We were expecting heavy rains,” said Bobbi-Jean Jeun of Clarksville, a rural hamlet near Albany. “We were expecting flooding. We weren’t expecting devastation.”

The storm was blamed for at least six deaths in New York. Three people were dead in Vermont, and a fourth was missing.

In the Catskills town of Phoenicia, the main street was still covered in red earth Monday, a day after a creek swelled beyond its banks and roared through town.

Chris Smith said the water was 3 feet deep on the street and moving swiftly enough to rock telephone poles. It carried see VERMONT page 14

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighboring Algeria on Monday, firm evidence that the longtime leader has lost his grip on the country.

Gadhafi’s whereabouts were still unknown and rebels are worried that if he remains in Libya, it will stoke more violence. In Washington, the Obama administration said it has no indication Gadhafi has left the country.

Rebels also said one of Gadhafi’s other sons, elite military commander Khamis, was probably killed in battle.

The Algerian Foreign Ministry said in

a statement that Gadhafi’s wife Safia, his sons Hannibal and Mohammed, and his daughter Aisha entered the country across the land border. It said Algerian authorities have informed the United Nations Secretary General, the president of the U.N. Security Council, and the head of the Libyan rebels transitional leadership council.

Ahmed Jibril, an aide to rebel National Transitional Council head Mustafa AbdulJalil, said officials would “demand that Algerian authorities hand them over to Libya to be tried before Libyan courts.”

Gadhafi’s children played important

roles in Libya’s military and economic life.

Hannibal headed the maritime transport company; Mohammed the national Olympic committee. Aisha, a lawyer, helped in the defense of toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the trial that led to his hanging.

Ahmed Bani, military spokesman of the council, said he was not surprised to hear Algeria welcomed Gadhafi’s relatives.

Throughout the six-month Libyan uprising, rebels have accused Algeria of providing Gadhafi with mercenaries to repress the revolt. see LIBYA page 8

WATERBURY, Vt. (AP) — Almost a dozen New England towns were rendered virtual islands Monday as floodwaters from the remnants of Hurricane Irene reshaped parts of Vermont and upstate New York, turning placid rivers into raging torrents and some streets into treacherous mud bogs.

Hundreds of roads remained closed, dozens of bridges were gone and entire towns were cut off from assistance in the worst flooding some areas have seen in a century.

A day earlier, Irene dumped up to 11 inches on parts of Vermont and more than 13 inches on some areas of New York — a deluge that quickly overwhelmed waterways, storm sewers and drainage systems.

At one point, the floodwaters were rising

Lynch expects major state storm repairs to be done by weekend

CONCORD (AP) — Major road and utility repairs to damage resulting from Tropical Storm Irene are expected to be completed by Labor Day weekend for tourists wanting to visit New Hampshire, Gov. John Lynch said Monday.

Good weather is helping utility crews repair damage that left 175,000 homes and businesses without power at the peak of Sunday’s storm, Lynch said. By Monday morning, the number of customers without power had been cut to 113,000, and was rapidly dropping.

Though a significant storm, the damage was not as bad as a devastating ice storm three years ago that left 600,000 customers without power, some for as long as two weeks, said Public Utilities Commission Chairman Tom Getz. He said Monday that lessons learned from that storm help them better prepare for Irene.

Lynch said two electric utilities, National Grid and Unitil, expected to restore power to most of their customers by Monday night. Public Service of New

5 people resuced from swamped truck in Thornton

THORNTON, N.H. (AP) — Five people and a dog had to be rescued by boat from a pickup truck that had gone around a barrier blocking a road flooded out by Tropical Storm Irene in Thornton.

WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/nIqlr3) reports that the truck went around the barrier and got stuck Sunday night at exit 29 off of Interstate 93.

Two people in the truck swam to safety, but the other three people and the dog climbed into the bed of the truck and waited for rescue workers from Thornton and surrounding towns to bring them to safety.

There was no word on whether anyone would be charged.

Hampshire, the state’s largest utility, and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative are saying it could be a few days before the lights are on for everyone in their territories, he said.

Lynch said 200 local roads and 42 state roads were closed, with the worst damage to state routes in the North Country, including the Kancamagus Scenic Byway. He said the state roads will be repaired this week. A list of roads posted on the state’s website shows many are blocked by downed trees and power lines, but some are washed out.

Lynch said the state is concerned about the safety of one or more bridges in the north and will be inspecting them closely.

Besides working to reopen the state roads, the state will try to help communities with repairs, Lynch said. A Federal Emergency Management Agency representative also will be assessing the damage to determine who might qualify for federal assistance.

“My expectation is that everything will be taken

care of this weekend and we’ll be open for business, and we want the tourists to come to New Hampshire and enjoy themselves just like they’ve always been able to do,” Lynch said.

George Bald, commissioner of the Department of Resources and Economic Development, said officials had planned to reopen state parks Tuesday but moved up the opening for Hampton Beach State Park and Franconia Notch State Park to Monday.

Others may be opened sooner, and all will be opened

by Wednesday, he said.

While the beaches are being opened, swimming is banned, for now, Lynch said.

The department is reaching out to all businesses, not just the tourist industry, to see if they need help, Bald said.

State officials urged residents to be cautious around damaged trees, fallen power lines and rivers.

They said flooding still could happen along the Connecticut River near Walpole and Hinsdale. see LYNCH page 10

NEW YORK (AP) — They were life and death decisions made by politicians, bureaucrats and everyday people. Hurricane Irene was barreling towards the East Coast. It was big. It was scary. Flooding was certain. The choice: Flee or stay put.

Disaster experts unanimously said evacuating was the right choice and it saved lives. But these were tough nail-biting calls that are now being second-guessed.

In New York City, it was debated during a critical staff meeting in City Hall where the deadly specter of Katrina and New Orleans was raised. On Friday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, saying he worried about deadly flooding in low-lying areas, made the first ever call for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to leave their homes.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was trademark blunt in his order: “Get the hell off the beach.”

Since Irene didn’t hit with the advertised fury, those decisions and others up and down the Eastern Seaboard are being reexamined. Experts in hurricanes and disaster preparations and risk analysis, though, only had praise Monday, pointing out it takes a long time to evacuate densely populated areas and the hurricane’s forecasts left little room for error.

“Second-guessing is easy, making those evacuation calls is not,” said George Washington University risk sciences professor George Gray, a former senior Environmental Protection Agency official in the George W. Bush administration. “”Given availsee EVACUATIONS page 11

Pat Buchanan

A conspiracy of counterfeiters “Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.”

“Lenin was certainly right,” John Maynard Keynes continued in his 1919 classic, “The Economic Consequences of the Peace.”

“There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”

Keynes warned that terrible hatreds would be unleashed against “profiteers” who enriched themselves through inflation as the middle class was wiped out. And he pointed with alarm to Germany, where the mark had lost most of its international value. By November 1923, the German currency was worthless, hauled about in wheelbarrows to buy groceries. The middle class had been destroyed.

German housewives were prostituting themselves to feed their families. That same month, Adolf Hitler attempted his Munich Beer Hall Putsch.

Today a coterie of economists is prodding Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to induce inflation into the American economy.

Fearing falling prices, professor Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund, is pushing for an inflation rate of 5 to 6-percent while conceding that his proposal is rife with peril and “we could end up with 200-percent inflation.”

Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winner and columnist for The New York Times, is pushing Bernanke in the same direction. Bernanke, writes Krugman, should take the advice he gave Japan in 2000, when he urged the Bank of Japan to stimulate the economy with “an announcement that the bank was seeking moderate inflation, ‘setting a target in the 3 to 4-percent range for inflation, to be maintained for a number of years.’”

And who inspired Bernanke to urge Tokyo to inflate? Krugman modestly credits himself. “Was Mr. Bernanke on the right track? I think so — as well I should, since his paper was partly based on my own earlier work.”

But Krugman is not optimistic about Bernanke’s injecting the U.S. economy with a sufficient dose of inflation.

Why is Ben hesitant? Two words, says Krugman: “Rick Perry.”

Krugman believes Bernanke has been intimidated by Perry’s popu-

list threat in Iowa after his first day of campaigning: “If this guy (Bernanke) prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what y’all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treasonous.”

Perry was indulging in Texas hyperbole, and the press came down hard on him for language unbefitting a presidential candidate. Yet Perry has raised a legitimate series of questions.

What should be done to high officials of the U.S. government who consciously set out to dilute and destroy the savings and income of working Americans? What should be done to those who have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution and then steal the wealth of citizens by secretly manipulating the value of the currency, the store of wealth upon which those people depend?

Is inducing inflation — debauching the currency, the systematic and secret theft of the savings of citizens — a legitimate policy option for the Federal Reserve? Has Congress authorized official thievery? Who do these economists think they are?

Inflation rewards debt — and erodes savings. It is legalized counterfeiting, the deliberate creation of money with nothing to back it up.

If a citizen printed dollars bills, he would be tracked by the Secret Service, prosecuted and imprisoned.

Why, then, is the Fed’s clandestine printing of money with nothing to back it up a legitimate exercise and, according to Krugman & Co., a desirable policy for Bernanke and the Fed? Schooled economists such as Rogoff, Krugman and Bernanke know how to shelter their wealth from the ravages of inflation — and even to get rich. But what about widows whose husbands leave a nest egg of savings in cash and bonds? What are they supposed to do as the value of their savings is wiped out at 4, 5 or 6-percent a year — or whatever annual rate of ruin the Rogoffs and the Krugmans decide upon?

This is not only an economic issue but a moral issue. To inflate a currency is to steal the money citizens have earned and saved and entrusted their government to protect. Any government that betrays that trust and steals that wealth is not only unworthy of support. It is worthy of being overthrown.

On this one, as Keynes said, Lenin was right.

Perry and Ron Paul deserve the nation’s gratitude for putting this issue of the unfettered power and the amorality of our unelected Federal Reserve on the political docket.

LETTERS SB-88 isn’t about gun rights; deadly weapons take many forms To the editor, I’d like to thank Bob O’Neill for his thoughtful letter regarding Senate Bill 88, which was vetoed by Governor Lynch, partly due to the concerns expressed by law enforcement in this state. First and foremost, I am a strong proponent of the Second Amendment Rights of law abiding citizens. I swore an oath to uphold this and all provisions of the Constitution and will vigorously defend it.

It is unfortunate that this legislation has been portrayed as a gun rights bill, which it is not. It could present situations that will not make any of us safer. In fact, it could provide a defense for criminals who will hide behind self-defense claims.

It is also important to note that there are an infinite number of deadly weapons besides firearms.

For the benefit of those trying to understand our concerns, this legislation, also referred to as the“Stand Your Ground” law, would remove the longstanding common law provision which provides that one should avoid a lethal confrontation if possible. Instead, this law would result in a public policy of “Shoot First, Ask Questions Later”. The current law on deadly force by citizens is RSA 627:4 and it is very clear. It provides that one can defend themselves or a third person from the use of deadly force when faced with likely or actual deadly force. It also contains a “Castle Doctrine” provision, which states that we do not have to retreat in our homes or on our property, including situations where someone breaks into your residence. There have been numerous

incidents in New Hampshire where civilians have used deadly force to defend themselves or others and the investigations that followed exonerated them under the current laws.

As it relates to the Ward Bird case, the primary concern was that Mr. Bird was sentenced to a minimum 3-year prison term as required for crimes involving deadly weapons. However, that provision is contained in a completely different law. Neither I nor my colleagues objected to the Legislature revisiting that issue. But, by providing that one can use deadly force whenever one perceives a threat and while in any place they have a right to be, there will inevitably be situations where unfortunately, calmer heads will not prevail, such as “road rage” incidents. Instead of encouraging people to avoid confrontation, this law will only encourage it.

Finally, there have been documented cases in other states with similar laws where prosecutions could not be made and charges were dismissed against gang members and street criminals due to the provision of the law that allows claims of selfdefense which could not be refuted.

As Mr. O’Neill accurately points out, the use of lethal force is very serious business. With rights come responsibilities. We should ensure that serious consideration is given to when citizens should or should not kill other citizens or place innocent bystanders at risk.

It is one thing to talk about taking a human life. It is quite another to actually do it. There is no taking the bullet back once it leaves the barrel.

Craig Wiggin Belknap County Sheriff

Why do we let American soldiers die on foreign land for oil?

To the editor, My question for readers of The Daily Sun, or anyone knowledgeable, is to help me understand our current national political morass.

1. Why has no one mentioned cutting foreign aid?

2. What about spending for the military?

3. If we had or are having an illegal war, how come it hasn’t been stopped?

4. Why do the politicians attack the poor, elderly, the unemployed working man?

5. Last question: Why let American soldiers die on foreign land for oil?

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 30, 2011 — Page 5

LETTERS The true cost of this Alton teachers’ contract proposal is unknown To the editor, As a member of the Alton Budget Committee elected to represent the taxpayers of Alton I could not in good conscious vote for, or recommend the upcoming teacher’s contract. I owe you an explanation.

1. The economy has not changed since last March, but has in fact gotten worse.

Unemployment is back up, cost of goods and services (inflation) is up, the trade deficit is up, the debt ceiling is up, COLAS were denied to Social Security and Medicare recipients; Alton’s welfare burden has increased, and Alton taxpayers are being asked to pay more of the state’s share in retirement contribution.

2. You and I, the voters, did not approve this year’s school budget because it is bloated and poorly managed. If we are reducing this year’s budget for textbooks and school supplies, why then would we increase teacher’s salaries?

3. The teachers are requesting a onetime raise after generating the worst annual performance of the Alton Central School in the history that state elementary and middle school comparisons have existed (see schooldigger.com). For 2011, Alton Central School ranked 204 out of 222 elementary schools, or the bottom 8-percent in the state. Not only does that stink, but we have gone down 24 places from 2010. That is the good news. The Alton School district, which comprises the elementary and middle school, came in at 133 out of 141 N.H. school districts, or in the bottom 6-percent of the state. Alton Middle School is down nine places to 75 out of 108 middle schools. The school board wants us to believe the new teachers mantra, “the worse you do, the more you are worth”.

Instead of negotiating a 2011-2012 contract based upon the latest enforceable contract which they should have done, as stated by the school board representative, they negotiated a teachers’ contract based upon the one that was defeated in the polls. If the taxpayers rejected it then why is this contract the new base? The school board is lazy because they should have seen this new negotiation as an opportunity to change language and create accountability for the teachers. Experienced teachers may only be formally evaluated every three years. Well this school system has been deteriorating significantly over the last three plus years because nobody is accountable for the quality of our children’s education. Last year we gave a raise to the highest paid superintendent in the state for managing one of the poorest performing school districts in the state and we are still getting worse.

Why does the school board insist that we continue to throw our hard earned tax dollars into a growing black hole?

4. The school board is lazy. They have no problem sitting on their management pedestal making management decisions, but when it comes to actual

work they take the easy way out. For example, a few months ago the principal resigned. To replace her they promoted the director of curriculum who has no previous principal management experience. What they should have done was what I suggested at a school board meeting: recruit an assistant principal from one of the top 10-15 performing schools in the state. I am sure at least one would have an interest in running his or her own school. Unfortunately that means work. You have to get on the phone, recruit in person, write letters, meet and interview candidates, create a compensation package with incentives, etc. By promoting a candidate with no principal experience and giving her a short term contract, you have effectively hired an individual that must choose to be in lock step with the school board to guarantee any possible job longevity.

Only a long term contract offered to an experienced high performing assistant principal could insure potential extraordinary performance. This person already knows educational excellence.

5. The school board’s estimated costs of the new contract as presented to the Budget Committee are wrong and significantly understated. Missing from the school board’s explanation were: a. 5 additional committee stipends at $500 each = $2,500. b. Professional development funds now not encumbered by contract. $1,500 is addition to the $2,000 per qualifying teacher previously budgeted for classes and or workshops = $10,000+ c. Committee compensation now guaranteed by contract and eliminated by budget process = $2,358. d. A spike in retirement costs as additional contract compensation and longevity bonuses kick in = costs unknown but substantial. e. Support staff matching contracts tied to teachers contract = unknown but substantial. f. SAU committee compensation now rises to the equivalent of double overtime for an average teacher (now $40 per hour vs. $19.23 per hour). There is also no limit in the contract as to the amount of total hours budgeted making the potential impact unknown but substantial.

The cost of this new negotiated contract is basically unknown but substantial. I asked the SAU business manager and the school board representatives if they could quantify the potential downside costs to the taxpayers. Both said they could not. Query? How can you negotiate a collective bargaining agreement without knowing your worst case scenario and downside risk? This is the same school board that ordered plans and drawing for a new school without any cost constraints given to the architect, whatsoever. Obviously, it’s easy and you can if it is not your money.

the WORST thing ever for Laconia businesses!

Wake up and join the REAL world!

Parking meters clearly say “DON’T SHOP HERE!”. You are destroying Laconia, much to the joy of surrounding towns.

LETTERS Executive Commitee of Post #33 has recommended smoke free To the editor, The executive committee of GriggsWyatt Post 33 of the American Legion in Meredith has recommended an amendment to its’ by-laws that the post becomes a non-smoking entity.

A by-law change is effectuated by a majority vote of members at a properly noticed regular meeting. That meeting is scheduled for 7 o’clock in the evening on Tuesday, the 6th of September.

Approximately two thirds of the Legion posts nation wide are nonsmoking and that number is growing larger. The Center for Disease Control, in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, states that 19.8-percent of Americans (1 in 5) smoke, down from a high of 46-percent forty years ago.

The human cost and the economic cost of smoking, and notably second hand smoke relative to heart and lung diseases is, hugely significant.

A reasonable case can be made for becoming a non-smoking post. The obvious is that your not maligning non-smoking veterans and quests with the dangers of second hand smoke. Another benefit is making the canteen (bar) area more desirable to a much larger segment of the population. More members and quests using the post means more dollars for the post and ideally more members

becoming participatory in the post and its’ projects.

The second point, the economics, is important. Your Legion post is not only a fraternal meeting place for military veterans and associated members. It is a community resource.

The American Legion, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of the American Legion have contributed their time and the funds they raise to any number of area projects and services. Included in that list is the senior center food funding, scholarships to high school seniors, Thanksgiving baskets, Boys and Girls State, the Meredith and Center Harbor food pantries, food gift cards, adopting families at Christmas in conjunction with the Nurses Guild, David’s House at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, the Kylee Flint Educational Fund and more.

The Legion contributes and participates in patriotic holidays, attends funerals, and maintains veteran markers and flags in cemeteries.

We encourage all our veterans to attend the September meeting and voice your choice for making your American Legion Post #33 a nonsmoking venue or leaving it as is.

To the editor, What a mess we are all in as a nation.

Our leaders don’t have the answer, we have all proved that, sad to say. Mr. Obama told us he had the answer and he would solve the problems. No sir. Roll on to 2012. Will our new president solve this mess? More than likely, no. Why? Because we are not seeking the face of God in national prayer to save our nation, before it is forever too late.

Listen to what God says: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (11 CHR 7:14) Our only hope is God’s people praying. Prayer changes things. America, wake up; don’t believe in Superman, Batman or Captain America to help us. Be real and pray to God in the name of his son, Jesus Christ and stand on his promise, alone.

Our past history proved that God has blessed us, over and over again.

Every smooth talking person, no matter whichever political party they represent, does not have the answer.

God’s people, and we millions strong, praying to God, will save us.

Now, many people will say “nonsense”. Well friends, time will prove that it’s either a national revival or total destruction of our American way to life. Time is running out. Period.

The answer to no oil is drill baby drill. The answer to no food is plant baby plant. The answer to restoration of all things to pray baby pray.

Some people go crazy, write crazy letters to the editor, trying to tell us we are not a Christian nation, etc. Are they right or wrong? Come on people, no matter who your are. God is not a man that should lie to us. You have all experienced answers to prayer.

Now, once again we must get down on our knees and seek the living God. I believe God will us us and our land.

God bless the U.S.A. William “Liam” McCoy Meredith

LETTERS In long run, our state will be stronger because of the budget cuts To the editor, It’s been a while since I penned a letter to the editor, but a few recent letters have gotten my attention and I’d like to respond. Now, I’ve been described as a right-leaning independent by some as I am a fiscal conservative and social moderate. Officially the state lists me as a registered “Undecided”! While serving on the budget committee for our school district I was described as evil (and other adjectives I can’t put in this letter) so I do take issue with some of the letters I’ve recently read.

First, Lynn Rudmin Chong and Shirley J. Adams had a recent letter published that read in part “…the Tea Party, those ladies with their fists shaking looked just like the Gestapo women guards we were shown in the 1945 movies”. “Why do Sen. Orin Hatch and Rep. Cantor and their leadership appear to enjoy watching the country struggle”? Finally, “…My concern is for my own grandchildren who will have to live in a society that has been carefully taught deceit and hatred”.

With due respect, I must say, Mrs. Chong and Mrs. Adams your letter was exactly what you bemoan. It was divisive, deceitful and a perfect example of hate speech. Comparing the Tea Party to the Gestapo was just wrong and you need to apologize. Saying that the Republican leadership enjoys the struggles of our country is disingenuous. I do know of others on the right that have engaged in this type of rhetoric and they are equally wrong. In the shadow of the Gabrielle Gifford’s shooting earlier this year we all need to engage in productive adversarial discourse without the politics of personal destruction.

Second, I was very impressed by the letter from Mark Billings from Meredith last week. I do not know Mr. Billings but found his letter on our state budget problems to be informative and his conclusions spot on.

There is no disputing the numbers or the consequences if no action was taken by the legislature. With the rate of growth to the budget increasing by 23-percent over a four year period while the economy grew only 1.8-percent was illuminating and easy to understand. Something had to be done. It was not popular and people in our state will feel the pain. However, in the long run our state will be

stronger and will emerge faster when the economy turns around because of those tough decisions. Most people who are ripping the legislature for their actions will read Mr. Billings letter and not dispute the numbers.

They will start their opposing position with the following phrase: “Yeah but…”. And then move on to describe those making the tough decisions as evil people and wanting to harm our citizens…etc. Please put a different plan or different ideas on the table to solve the problem rather than ignore the problem and try to destroy the people working toward a solution.

Third, Tom Salatiello wrote recently that the happenings in the New Hampshire House of Representatives is not consistent with what he calls the New Hampshire Experience and they have substituted contempt for respect while making politics a game show. He went on to describe a few examples of, what he describes as, the real New Hampshire experience. His examples are to me, charitable actions of people helping others.

Mr. Salatiello I disagree with your implication that the citizens of New Hampshire will lose as a result of the actions taken by the Legislature. I believe the direct opposite will result in the long run. If you have a problem with HOW they went about their business challenge them on that and give specific examples. I have raised my eyebrow a couple of times questioning how they have gone about things, like appointing only Republicans to a certain committee, but I would not describe them as you do. I also withhold judgment on their actions until I hear their reasons for doing what they do. Their reasoning for those Republican only committee appointments made sense but I disagreed with it anyway.

Finally, I ask everyone to get involved with their local government and participate by filling vacant positions on committees and boards. If you cannot devote the time to volunteer, please stay informed and go to meetings. Budget season is starting (hint, hint Northfield)! The more we participate and the more we communicate the better and stronger our community will be!

Department of Safety declines to declare Barber Pole channel a no wake zone

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TUFTONBORO — For the fifth time in the past 23 years a petition to designate the Barber Pole channel on Lake Winnipesaukee a “no wake zone” has been denied by the New Hampshire Department of Safety. Following a public hearing last month, John Barthelmes, Commissioner of Safety, issued an order last week concluding that “the practicality of a No Wake Zone in Barbers Pole is not reasonable or sensible.”

Similar petitions failed in 1988, 1997, 2008 and again last year, when an order imposing a “no wake zone” was issued only to be later rescinded because some of the original petitioners were found not to be qualified.

The channel, known as the Barber Pole for one of the buoys that marks it, stretches for about 2,000 feet — about twice the length of the Weirs Channel — from the southeastern tip of Little Birch Island, off the mouth of Orchard Cove, to where the eastern shoreline of Cow Island recedes to the west. The width of the channel varies from 390 feet at its narrowest point to some 900 feet where it widens to the north and south.

At the hearing 43 people, including some of the 32 petitioners, were recorded in favor of restricting speed through the channel and 117 were counted in opposition. In addition, the New Hampshire Marine Patrol, which opposed the past petitions, again recommended against establishing a “no wake zone.”

Residents of Little Birch Island and Squirrel Island on the western edge of

the channel represented much of the support for a “no wake zone.” Thomas Hilbink, who mounted the petition, was among those stressing the risks that speeding powerboats posed to swimmers, canoeists and kayakers plying the channel. Others pointed to the erosion of the shoreline caused by the high volume of fast boat traffic.

Champions of the boating speed limits, including Bill Bertholdt of Gilford, Warren Clark of Meredith and Mary Hutchins of Laconia also endorsed the proposal, emphasizing that lower speed would enhance public safety and reduce environmental damage.

Opponents of the proposal claimed that the petitioners exaggerated the hazards to public safety. They said that the channel was sufficiently wide to enable vessels traveling in opposite directions without violating the safe passage law or encroaching within 150-feet of the shoreline to endanger swimmers. Likewise, they cautioned that a “no wake zone” would lead to a queues of boats that by decelerating and accelerating at both ends of the channel would make large wakes and cause more erosion. Others said that the channel would become a bottleneck, prompting those going between the northern and southern reaches of the lake to seek an alternative passage, most likely the Hole-in-the-Wall, the narrow stretch between Little Bear Island and Devens Island, where traffic would mount.

Lieutenant Tim Dunleavy of Marine Patrol said that in response to the

petition the agency analyzed data collected during the boating seasons of 1998, 1999 and 2000, and those of 2009, 2010 and 2011, both following decisions to deny petitions for “no wake zones.” He said that citations and warnings for violations of the safe passage law declined by 75-percent between 1998-2000 and 2009-2011.

The only accident in the channel occurred in 2009 when a canoe capsized in foul weather. Marine Patrol

has not received a call for service from the area since October 2009. Traffic surveys conducted on a Saturday and a Wednesday afternoon last month counted this July one violation for every 24 boats on Saturday and one for every 87 boats on Wednesday, most them breaches of the safe passage law.

Dunleavy noted that a member of the public has not reported a violation of the safe passage law in nearly two years.

BELMONT & TILTON — The New Hampshire Marine Patrol designated Silver Lake a “no wake zone” effective as of 2:30 p.m. Sunday, August 28 when the water topped 467 feet above sea level.

In anticipation of tropical storm Irene, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) began lowering the level of Lake Winnipesaukee in the middle of last week to provide storage capacity

for heavy rainfall. The discharge at Lakeport Dam was increased from 200 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 400 cfs by Wednesday, then more than doubled to 1,000 cfs by Thursday before being raised to 1750 cfs over the weekend.

Yesterday DES dropped the discharge at the dam to 750 cfs and expected the water level at Silver Lake to return to normal operating level during the next several days.

Gilford boater strikes rocks in The Witches

GILFORD — A local man suffered cuts to the head when his boat struck rocks in The Witches late last Friday night.

According to the New Hampshire Marine Patrol, Edwin Buczak, 55, of Morrill Street, who also has a home on Welch Island, was alone when his aluminum outboard motorboat, hit rocks while traveling 12 to 15 miles

per hour around 11:15 p.m.

A Marine Patrol officer encountered Buczak, injured but still at the helm, about a half-mile from The Witches and the Gilford Fire-Rescue Department transported him to Lakes Region General Hospital.

Marine Patrol is investigating the accident.

LIBYA from page 2 Over the weekend, the Egyptian news agency MENA, quoting unidentified rebel fighters, reported that six armored Mercedes sedans, possibly carrying Gadhafi’s sons or other top regime figures, had crossed the border at the southwestern Libyan town of Ghadamis into Algeria. Algeria’s Foreign Ministry had denied that report.

Bani said Monday that rebel forces may have killed Khamis Gadhafi in a clash Saturday. Rebel clashed with a military convoy near the town of Tarhouna, 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli, destroying two vehicles

in the convoy. The bodies in the cars were burned beyond recognition, he said, but captured soldiers said they were Khamis Gadhafi’s bodyguards.

“We are sure he is dead,” Col. Boujela Issawi, the rebel commander of Tarhouna, told AP. But then he cast some doubt, saying it was possible Gadhafi’s son was pulled alive from the car and taken to Bani Walid, a contested interior area.

Col. Abdullah Hussein, a former pilot in the Libyan airforce who is part of the rebels’ command center in Tarhouna, said that “we heard from see next page

Back from the dead? Trio of fire chiefs talking about new life for Winnisquam station

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — After at least three years of dormancy, the use of the former Winnisquam Fire Station again came before selectmen last night.

After submitting what he called a draft proposal, Fire Chief Dave Parenti asked the board for permission to continue working with Sanbornton and the Tilton-Northfield Fire District chiefs to develop a plan to reopen the old station near the Mosquito Bridge on Rte. 3.

“Would it really hurt if the three chiefs got together?” Parenti said he asked Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin, who told him not make any commitments.

It was in early 2005 that the 42-year old independent Winnisquam Fire District began discussion dissolution after its long-serving Chief William Wright retired. At the time, the Winnisquam Fire District was one of the last remaining independent, all volunteer fire companies in New Hampshire.

It was also in mid-August of 2005 when the often rancorous battle to divvy up the assets between Belmont — where the station is located and whose taxpayers paid 50 percent of its operating cost – the town of Sanbornton and the members of the Tilton-Northfield Fire District whose population split the balance of the operating costs. from preceding page Bani Walid that he (Khamis) died in the hospital there.”

Asked how they knew this, since Bani Walid is still under regime control, he said: “We have some people there.”

It was possible this was psychological warfare. The rebels claimed to have captured Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam, a key figure, only to have him turn up the next day and talk to reporters.

Rebel leaders have started to set up a new government in the capital Tripoli after their fighters drove Gadhafi’s defenders out over the past week. Gadhafi’s whereabouts are still unknown, however, and people close to him have claimed he is still in the country and

Officially dissolved in July of 2006, the station house was incorporated into the Belmont Fire Department but, despite the fears and protestations of many waterfront Sanbornton residents, an agreement between Sanbornton and Belmont to continue operating the station and servicing the same three-town area as before was never reached, largely because of haggling over money.

In the ensuing six years, the three fire chiefs associated with the dissolution agreements have either retired or moved on and two years ago, Belmont’s voters chose to fix up the bathrooms on one side of the building for use by recreational visitors and residents.

Some fire and ambulance equipment is still stored in the other half of the station by Belmont and occasionally put into use by Belmont firefighters when needed.

While all of the fire chiefs are postWinnisquam, Belmont Selectboard Chair Jon Pike and Vice Chair Ron Cormier are not.

“I feel like I’m going down a rabbit hole,” Cormier said, both he and Pike visibly wincing at the memories of all the bad feelings generated by the 2008 attempt to reactivate the station under Belmont’s control.

Parenti’s draft proposal is similar to the one proposed by former Belmont Fire Chief Rick Siegel who was working with Sanbornton Chief John

leading a fight to hold onto power.

“Gadhafi is still capable of doing something awful in the last moments,” rebel leader Abdul-Jalil told NATO officials earlier Monday in Qatar.

The focus of concern is Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte, his last major stronghold in the country. The town, 250 miles east of Tripoli, is heavily militarized and shows no signs yet of surrendering even though rebels say they are trying to negotiate a bloodless takeover.

There was some fighting Monday on the eastern and western approaches to Sirte. Some have speculated that Gadhafi and other senior regime figures may have fled there.

DeSilva and Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Steve Carrier and involved Belmont assuming half of the projected expense and the other two splitting the balance.

As Belmont’s Chief, Parenti would have command of the two paid by the call firefighters he recommended using to staff the station that would have one ambulance and one fire engine. He said he would like to see it staffed Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. He estimated it costing about $70,000 for one half of the fiscal year.

“That’s where the ball got dropped the last time,” Pike said, noting everybody was supportive until it came time for the Tilton-Northfield Fire district and the people of Sanbornton to pony up the money.

“If I recall, negotiations broke down over $15,000 and I can’t imagine it’s gotten any cheaper,” Pike said.

News accounts of the time indicate negotiations broke down when Sanbornton selectmen balked at $17,000 and Belmont selectmen feared there may be some contamination issues the Belmont taxpayers would have to absorb.

Contamination issues resolved, Belmont selectmen still chose not to go forward with any agreements in 2008.

All three Belmont Selectmen, including Dave Morse, said they understand the need for more immediate coverage in Winnisquam area, but said they feared Belmont taxpayers would bear the brunt of the costs.

Cormier said the 2008 proposal was about $50,000 and his recollection was that Sanbornton and TiltonNorthfield didn’t want to do it.

“They didn’t want to then but now that they need new fire stations, they want it,” he said.

When Parenti said things are different because all the chiefs are different, Cormier said he didn’t recall the problem being with the chiefs, inferring it was the politicians, including himself, that killed the deal.

Selectmen ultimately said they would look at a proposal if it provided some reasonably concrete numbers but were not ready to sit down and discuss the matter formally or informally with either the Sanbornton Selectmen, the Tilton-Northfield Fire District Commissioners or both.

GOP from page one Glassman was among the 19 members of the party Executive Committee, joined by United States Senator Kelly Ayotte and Congressmen Frank Guinta and Charles Bass, who signed a letter convening a meeting of the committee on Thursday to vote on ousting Kimball. Last week he disputed the widespread notion the signatories were calling for Kimball’s dismissal.

“This is definitely a call for a vote,” Glassman said. “We’re not asking Jack to resign or saying that he must go.”

Conceding that “I’m leaning one way,” he declined to elaborate, explaining that “there will be a vote, but I would be very disappointed if there is no discussion beforehand and if there isn’t, I will raise it, “he continued. “I fully expect conflicting information to come out.”

Kimball, a self-proclaimed leader of the Tea Party, as a candidate for governor in the 2010 Republican primary declared “I am not a big tent Republican.” When John H. Sununu resigned the party chairmanship on the heels of the GOP’s triumph at the polls in November, Kimball edged his designated successor, Juliana Bergeron of Keene, 222 to 199, in a rancorous election that drew national attention.

Soon flagging fundraising efforts and lost special elections raised questions about Kimball’s leadership, but when he signed a petition to help place the Libertarian Party on the ballot and fired his executive director, Will Wrobleski, it sparked calls for his removal. Kimball quickly withdrew his signature from the petition. Nevertheless, some charged that he breached a tortuously worded by-law disqualifying registered Republicans who endorsed candidates belonging to other parties in contested elections from holding state, county or city offices in the party.

According to party insiders, Kimball sacked Wrobleski, a veteran of several campaigns, for not rejecting that view and perhaps sharing it.

Representative Alida Millham of Gilford, routinely chastised by conservative Republicans as a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) yesterday quipped “who is in name only now,” but said she was staying out of the fray.

Kimball has defiantly refused all urgings to resign. Last week he held a press conference where, surrounded by loyal supporters, he capped a defense of his record by warning of the consequences to the GOP of burning its “bridge to the Tea Party.”

Murphy has been among Kimball’s staunchest champions. GraniteGrok was the first to report that 10 days ago Speaker of the House Bill O’Brien and former congressional congressional candidate Jennifer Horn called at Kimball’s office to tell him not only that party leaders wanted him to resign but also that the Republican Governor’s Association would withhold $100,000 from the local party until he did.

“I have reported the controversy,” said Murphy, whose post was headlined “So This Is Your 30 Pieces of Silver” and called the ploy “a declaration of all out war on the TEA Party, 912ers, and Liberty and Freedom legislators in the N.H. State House that helped to give the GOP a super majority this term.”

Yesterday Murphy posted a letter, signed by 20 Republicans, including 10 state representatives, urging Kimball to convene a meeting of the entire State Committee consisting of 493 voting members, on September 10, when a vote would be taken on a motion to remove him. The letter was echoed by a petition from a quorum of Strafford County Republican Committee protesting that Kimball was being denied due process and demanding a vote of the full membership.

While Kimball faces long odds with the 32 members of the executive committee, his chances of survival would be greater before the full state committee, which originally elected him.

Moreover, the party by-laws prescribe that decisions of the executive committee must be ratified by the state committee.

Murphy has pictured the fracas as between the GOP “establishment” and the conservative rank-and-file, particularly those aligned with the Tea Party. Like Kimball himself, Murphy and his contributors have warned of the price to be paid at the polls of alienating this wing of the party.

“In no way do I view this as the Tea Party versus the establishment,” Glassman insisted. Referring to veiled threats that Kimball’s dismissal could meet with “retaliatory acts,” he declared “that is not party unity.” He branded such remarks “childish and juvenile.”

“This is about Jack Kimball’s performance as party chairman,” Glassman said. “We must deal with the facts and deal with the by-laws. I’m looking at this thing,” he concluded, “and thinking party unity.”

LYNCH from page 3 “The danger has not passed,” Lynch said.

State Fire Marshal William Degnan said a Strafford firefighter was seriously injured when a tree fell on him while clearing a road Sunday night.

Another firefighter was shocked by an electric line.

“Trees that have been damaged are very unpredictable,” he said.

Degnan said improperly vented generators also have exposed several people to carbon monoxide gas.

Environmental Services Commis-

sioner Thomas Burack warned that water levels are receding, but river banks may be unstable or eroded.

Lynch planned to visit Hart’s Location, Bartlett, Lincoln and Plymouth on Monday to assess damage caused by flooding.

State Police Col. Robert Quinn said New Hampshire was fortunate not to have any major traffic accidents or fatalities during the storm.

Only 250 people used the nearly two dozen shelters that opened Sunday night. Lynch said the shelters had a capacity of 4,000 people.

decided to stay, and then changed their minds when Delaware Gov. Jack Markell urged an evacuation at a news conference.

Saturday night, strong winds from what officials believe was a tornado spun off by Irene damaged several homes in Lewes, ripping off the top of the Holloways’ home, blasting apart the garage.

Along the Connecticut shore, East Haven firefighters went door-to-door to tell residents to leave. Some residents wouldn’t go and needed to be rescued, Fire Chief Doug Jackson said. Twenty-five beachfront homes were destroyed.

“They jeopardize themselves when they stay there.

They also jeopardize my people,” Fire Chief Jackson said. “Now I have to make rescues that should not have been necessary.”

East Haven’s Bill Cowles, 55, never considered leaving his home. The water rose to just below the electrical sockets on the first floor and he could see neighbors’ houses crashing around him.

able information, I think risk analysts would say the right choices were made.”

Traditionally, larger areas and more people have be evacuated than turns out to be necessary, said Florida State University professor Jay Baker, who has studied hurricane evacuation.

“That’s just an artifact of the uncertainty,” said Baker.

Meteorologists have gotten pretty good at figuring out a storm’s path, but predicting its strength is a struggle. They nailed Irene’s track but it weakened more than forecast as it moved north.

Irene “was a very dangerous storm,” said Kathleen Tierney, director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado, saying this storm was handled far better than 2005’s Katrina. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that lives were saved.”

Jack and Sue Holloway are probably two of those lives. The Delaware residents dithered about staying at their beach home in coastal Lewes. They

Volunteers who contributed to the first year Got Lunch! program in Laconia gathered at the First Congregational Church on Monday afternoon to celebrate their success over some ice cream. Pictured here are some of the drivers who each Monday for 11 summer weeks delivered free, wholesome meals to the parents of school age children who receive either free or reduced-price lunch at the city’s schools during the school year. They are holding some of the creative thank you notes written by grateful youngsters. From left are Bob Harrington, Gail Miller, Dave Frost, Jean Frost, Earl Miller, Judy Nelson and Jo Connelly. Mayor Mike Seymour told the group, spearheaded by John Walker and Rev. Paula Gile, that they had truly “impacted their core of the community” with their idea. In all, a total of 314 children were served by the program and Walker predicted Got Lunch! might see a doubling of that number next summer. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Ed Engler)

BELMONT from page one the action to court if selectmen didn’t reverse the decision.

“Do what you have to do George,” said board Vice Chair Ron Cormier, who approved the arrangement with Pike all by himself because his colleagues recused themselves from voting.

Condodemetraky also said Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin didn’t give him the entire copy of the town’s agreement with its insurance broker, the Local Government Center, to which Beaudin said she thought she had sent him the whole thing and apologized if some of it didn’t reach him.

During the meeting Beaudin cited page 29 of the town’s agreement with LCG as justification for the town’s previous practice, but Condodemetraky said she only gave him pages one through 10.

Selectman Vice Chair Ron Cormier said the LGC sets the parameters but leaves it up to individual communities to set their own regulation about who pays for what so long as it is allowed by state and federal law.

He said he would support a policy similar to the one the state has — Cormier works for the state of New Hampshire — that would allow an ex spouse to remain insured under a new single plan at his or her own expense within the restrictions imposed by state and federal COBRA laws.

Morse agreed and, from hence forward, this is the town of Belmont’s official policy.

Where the selectmen couldn’t come to agreement is whether or not to “grandfather” or allow the exspouses who benefit from previous town practices to continue with their benefit.

Cormier said he would be in favor of allowing the grandfathering clause but Morse disagreed, saying he would like all people who are currently carried on their ex-spouses health insurance policies to have to get one of their own at their own expense.

There was also some question as to whether Pike would be able to vote on the grandfather issue.

Morse said he would not agree to Pike’s participation in the vote or discussion and would not second any motion Cormier made to grandfather ex-spouses on existing health insurance policies.

The issue was tabled at Pike’s suggestion and Beaudin said she would consult with the town attorney for the proper language regarding any grandfaFLOODING from page one ton and Coös counties.

“I have never seen this much flooding in the town of Plymouth,” Lynch said.

Brian Murphy, code enforcement officer and deputy emergency management director for Plymouth, said the Pemigewasset River, which runs just to the east of downtown, is considered to be at flood stage when it reaches 13 feet. At its height on Sunday the river was running 21.69 feet, which flooded Route 175-A with as much as seven feet of water, causing the closure of an Irving gas station and exit ramps for I-93.

In other parts of town, flooding caused the closure of Route 3 south of downtown and isolated about 50 homes on Loon Lake Road.

The flooding on Route 175-A necessitated the evacuation of homes on North River Street and South River Street, said Holderness Police Chief Jeremiah Patridge. Those homes are mostly rented to university students, he said, and an emergency shelter was opened by the school to accomodate evacuees.

The flooding also infiltrated the university’s athletic field house, spreading water about an inch deep in some parts of the building. More water made its way into the Savage Welcome Center and Hanaway Rink, a $16-million building opened last year. Patridge said that by 3:30 a.m. on Monday there was as much as six inches of water standing on the ice rink. Cleanup crews were working yesterday to air out the building and remove sodden items.

The rink and welcome center was designed with doors that should have repelled flood waters. Sara Jayne Steen, president of Plymouth State University, said it was not clear on Monday how the water infiltrated the new, state-of-the-art building. “It was not entirely water-tight,” she said, adding that the

ther clause as well as get an opinion as to whether or not Pike can participate in the vote and discussion.

Cormier said he expects to act on the grandfather clause no later than the next selectmen’s meeting, scheduled for Sept. 12.

Because of personnel regulations, it is not known how many employees or ex-spouses are involved — except for Pike and his ex-wife Town Clerk Cynthia DeRoy — both elected officials.

Beaudin previously stated that she knows of no cases in Belmont where leaving the ex spouse on an existing policy has cost the town more money.

Susan Condodemetraky said calmly that she didn’t believe it was “fair for taxpayers to pay for this,” referring directly to Pike’s confidential agreement with Belmont that apparently stemmed from a threatened lawsuit.

All that has been made public is that the town has paid him $11,100 and allowed him to remain, at town’s expense, on DeRoy’s policy. It is not known if she has a two-person or family policy.

Pike and DeRoy divorced in 2006 according to court records. At the time, DeRoy was employed as a deputy town clerk and was not an elected official.

“I can’t do anything about an agreement,” Cormier said who has repeated declined to speak publicly about Pike and the town’s agreement with him because he would be in violation of that agreement if he says anything.

“Is there somebody who can change it,” Susan Condodemetraky asked.

Cormier again said there was nothing more he could say or do.

“So you’re refusing to go back to correct inequities?” she said.

“I guess you could say that,” Cormier said.

Budget committee member Linda Frawley said she was concerned that inclusion of the ex-spouse could negatively impact the experience rating of the town and potentially drive expenses up for everyone involved.

Selectmen agreed they would review the experience ratings and evaluate the town’s entire health insurance policies before this year’s budget cycle but cautioned that nearly 75-percent of the Bemont’s employees are protected by collective bargaining agreements about which they can do nothing but negotiate.

Governor John Lynch talks with Holderness Fire Chief Eleanor Mardin during a tour of flood-affected parts of the state yesterday.

Mardin enlisted Lynch’s influence to expedite the re-opening of an exit off of Route 93 though state Department of Transportation workers had already quit for the day. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/ Adam Drapcho)

university would investigate why the building didn’t stay dry. She also didn’t know what the extent of the flood damage was.

Plymouth State University had initially planned to host student move-in on Sunday, the day that the storm arrived in New Hampshire, but has rescheduled that to today. The first day of classes was also moved, from Wednesday to Thursday of this week.

Jayne Steen said the lost day would be treated the same as if classes had been canceled due to snow.

The school expected about 4,300 undergraduates to arrive this week, 41 percent from out-of-state.

2 Colorado residents rescued from big lake at height of storm

MEREDITH — Amidst tropical storm “Irene” officers of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol pulled a kayaker and a swimmer from the wind swept waters of Lake Winnipesaukee between Grouse Point and Spindle Point.

When Marine Patrol responded to reports of a kayak foundering in between three to four of chop

at approximately 1:15 p.m. they found Jon Brady, 27, of Boulder, Colorado, aboard the kayak wearing a life jacket and Rebecca Witnok-Huber swimming alongside without a life jacket. Both, together with their kayak, were taken aboard the patrol boat and carried to shore. Neither was injured.

JEFFS from page 2 information publicly.

Doctors were not specific about why Jeffs was put into the coma.

Jeffs’ attorney Emily Detoto said her client “hasn’t been feeling well” and was taken to East Texas Medical Center in Tyler on Sunday night. She declined to elaborate.

Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman Michelle Lyons said Jeffs was in critical condition, but Lyons would not give specific details about his status. Lyons said Jeffs told corrections officers he’s fasted in the time since his conviction earlier this month, though it was not immediately

clear how long he’d gone without food before being hospitalized.

During Jeffs’ trial, prosecutors used DNA evidence to show he fathered a child with a 15-year-old and played an audio recording of what they said was him sexually assaulting a 12-year-old. Both were among 24 underage wives whom prosecutors said Jeffs collected.

Court documents show Jeffs tried to hang himself in January 2007 while awaiting trial on rape charges in Washington County, Utah. He also threw himself against the walls of his cell and banged his head, although he later told a mental health expert he really wasn’t trying to kill himself.

“I didn’t think the water would ever get that high.

I can’t believe it,” said Henry Shattuck of Bellows Falls, Vt., describing the remains of the bridge over the Williams River. “I’ve seen people crying because it’s gone. It hurts me, too, because, like I said, I’ve been over that bridge many, many times.”

“It’s pretty fierce. I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Michelle Guevin, who spoke from a Brattleboro restaurant after leaving her home in nearby Newfane.

Almost 50,000 utility customers were without power, and at least two bodies have been recovered.

One was believed to be a woman who fell into the Deerfield River while watching flooding in Wilmington. The other was one of two men lost when they went to inspect the inlet to the city’s water system.

RUMNEY — Labor Day weekend will give birth to a new tradition when the first-ever Baker River Art and Music Festival takes place on Saturday, September 3.

With a three dollar donation at the door, the festival gets started at 2 p.m. with the acoustic music of Stefan Zwahlen, accompanied by light snacks until dinner is served at 5 p.m. The menu features locally-grown ingredients combined into affordable fare by the Calm Post Café such as savory burritos, burgers, barbecue chicken, sweet potato fries, pasta salads and veggies and dips.

Ed Merrill donates home to Habitat for Humanity

FRANKLIN — A two-family house at 82 School Street has been donated by Ed Merrill of Franklin to Lakes Region Habitat for Humanity.

“We are very pleased to accept this extremely generous donation”, says Marilyn Deschenes, president of the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.

Merrill explained the reason for the gift. “My wife, Fukiko, who recently passed away, and I wanted to do something significant to give back to the community where we have lived most of our lives” says Merrill.

Deschenes said there are several possibilities for the house, which is currently a two-family rental property.

While Habitat does not have rentals as part of its charter, the property could be turned into two condominiums, providing housing for two families through the Habitat for Humanity building program.

The second possibility is that the house could be razed, keeping only the foundation and a new singlefamily home built upon that foundation for a family.

The property could also be sold, and the money used to fund other on-going Lakes Region Habitat projects.

“The decision about what will be done with Mr. Merrill’s generous donation will be made by the Lakes Region Habitat Board of Directors after careful consideration of all options,” said Deschenes.

She said that whatever the decision, Merrill’s gift will go a long way in helping Habitat fulfill its mission of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing.

“Especially in these economic times, Mr. Merrill’s gift will make one or more families’ dream of an affordable home of their own possible”, says Deschenes.

Lakes Region Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International and has been providing decent, affordable housing in the Lakes Region since 1982 and has completed 30 homes during that time. The local affiliate is currently working on a rehab of a house in Franklin which will be their 31st home. from preceding page son brings out the acoustic guitar for some fireside singing until bedtime.

The festival showcases the talents of many local artisans and craftspeople. From paintings, photography, jewelry, pottery and blown-glass objects to hand made hats and bags, there will be a variety of styles and mediums.

Accompanying the music, art and food, some of the activities include a raffle, auction, and a tie-dyeing

By Holiday Mathis outdo every gift.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take a break from trying to improve yourself.

What you need more than anything is rest. Also, self-acceptance will carry your efforts much further than constant internal criticism.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have interesting and useful talents now. You will be able to control your emotions, curb your cravings and fit into whatever social situation you happen to come across.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Political and moral agendas may be at odds now. Someone needs your agreement in order to move forward. However, you may not be able to give this approval in good conscience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t care whether or not you are the most amazing player on the scene. You just want to get into the game and have some fun. Because of this stellar attitude, you’ll do well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One of the most formidable obstacles you will encounter in the managing of your mood is the emotional tone of others.

Bad attitudes and crummy moods are catching. Think ahead about how you’ll protect yourself.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30). You want to see different parts of the world and be able to communicate fluently there. You’ll learn a “new language” -- though it may still be in your native tongue. Finances improve in September. Enjoyable work makes lifestyle upgrades possible. November brings family additions. January puts an old battle to rest. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 31, 29 and 36.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll get the idea that break time is over.

Crack down on self-discipline. The more leeway you give yourself the further away from your goals you will stray.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid making assumptions about another person -- you’re not likely to assume the right thing. Instead, ask questions, even if it means you risk looking foolish.

It is more endearing to be foolish than to be ignorant or wrong.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You see the light at the end of the tunnel, and you keep going toward it because you know it’s the right way. Still, there’s no reason not to enjoy your time and travels during this contained part of your journey.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everything you own needs maintenance and management. You’ll decide whether or not the time you put into keeping a certain possession clean and orderly is really worth the value of the thing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Human behavior can be somewhat of a puzzle.

You’re willing to experiment, turning the pieces and trying different arrangements until something clicks. You’ll come up with a brilliant solution by day’s end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want your loved ones to be entertained in the way they find most delightful.

You’ll observe what makes them laugh and note what holds their attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t be so worried about giving just as much as the other person gives. It may, in fact, be a bad idea to balance the scales.

Someone wants to be the bigger giver and will be disappointed if you try to

Saturday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 30, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Aug. 30, the 242nd day of 2011. There are 123 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 30, 1861, Union Gen. John C. Fremont instituted martial law in Missouri and declared slaves there to be free. (However, Fremont’s emancipation order was countermanded by President Abraham Lincoln).

On this date: In 1797, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, creator of “Frankenstein,” was born in London.

In 1862, Union forces were defeated by the Confederates at the Second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Va. In 1905, Ty Cobb made his major-league debut as a player for the Detroit Tigers, hitting a double in his first at-bat in a game against the New York Highlanders. (The Tigers won, 5-3.)

In 1963, the “Hot Line” communications link between Washington and Moscow went into operation.

In 1967, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1983, Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first black American astronaut to travel in space as he blasted off aboard the Challenger.

In 1986, Soviet authorities arrested Nicholas Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, as a spy a week after American officials arrested Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, on espionage charges in New York.

(Both men were later released.)

In 1997, Americans received word of the car crash in Paris that claimed the lives of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul. (Because of the time difference, it was Aug. 31 where the crash occurred.)

One year ago: An enormous drill began preliminary work on carving a half-mile chimney through solid rock to free 33 men trapped in a Chilean mine.

Today’s Birthdays: Country singer Kitty Wells is 92. Opera singer Regina Resnik is 89. Actor Bill Daily is 84. Actress Elizabeth Ashley is 72. Actor Ben Jones is 70. Cartoonist R. Crumb is 68. Olympic gold medal skier Jean-Claude Killy is 68. Actress Peggy Lipton is 64. Comedian Lewis Black is 63.

Actor Timothy Bottoms is 60. Actor David Paymer is 57. Jazz musician Gerald Albright is 54. Actor Michael Chiklis is 48. Music producer Robert Clivilles is 47. Actress Michael Michele is 45. Country musician Geoff Firebaugh is 43. Country singer Sherrie Austin is 40. Rock singer-musician Lars Frederiksen (Rancid) is 40. Actress Cameron Diaz is 39.

Rock musician Leon Caffrey (Space) is 38.

TV personality Lisa Ling is 38. Rock singermusician Aaron Barrett (Reel Big Fish) is 37.

Actor Michael Gladis is 34. Rock musician Matt Taul (Tantric; Days of the New) is 33.

Tennis player Andy Roddick is 29.

One of the highlights will be the return of Odaiko, Japanese drummers well-known to market day audiences. The ensemble’s name comes from the huge drum, “odaiko”. Members also play several large wooden drums called “taikos”, Japanese for drum.

The drummers blend traditional taiko drumming with Cuban, Latino, and jazz influences.

Also joining the performers is Akwaaba which means welcome in the Ashanti language of Ghana.

These dynamic musicians are dedicated to promoting peace and unity within the West African community through traditional African drumming and dancing.

“These guys are energetic, enthusiastic”, said Ryan O’Connor, Bow Times newspaper. They use traditional African hand drums and other percussion instruments bringing the rhythms of Africa alive.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 30, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I work in a small office with two other people.

The office was understaffed to begin with, and my boss is now undergoing chemotherapy and is out two weeks of every month. Then my co-worker decided to retire. As a result, I had to work a fair amount of overtime in our busiest season.

Right now, the office consists of a part-time worker and me. Even though our busy season has passed, I still often end up with an hour of overtime each week. My boss’s boss has decided that since my peak-season overtime wasn’t “pre-approved,” she isn’t going to pay it. Furthermore, she had my time clock hard coded so that no matter what time I log in or out, I only get credit for a standard workday.

I’m the only full-time, fully compensated employee, and I have significant responsibilities. If I don’t stay late and do whatever needs to be finished, I get in trouble. If I do stay late, I don’t get paid. I guess in this labor market, the boss wins.

Needless to say, I am looking for another job. In the meantime, what do I do about this no-win situation? -- Workplace Dilemma Dear Workplace: You are being treated unfairly. However, in a small, privately owned business, there are likely no higher-ups to complain to. And although we agree that you should be compensated for the overtime, one extra hour a week is, frankly, not that much. What many employers fail to realize is that employees need to feel valued. You put in a lot of hard work during a busy season when you were effectively flying solo. The boss could alleviate much of this ill will (and the possibility of losing a loyal employee) simply by letting you know how much she appreciates you. We hope she sees this.

Dear Annie: I am 50 years old and have been widowed for a year. I recently met a nice man, and we went on a couple of

dates. But I had mixed feelings. I still felt “married,” and it was causing me great turmoil, so I told this wonderful guy that it was too soon for me to date. He said he respected my feelings and to give him a call when I am ready.

Now I’m regretting my decision. He’s a great guy, and we share similar interests. I don’t know how to sort this out. My family still mourns the loss of my husband, who was an exceptional man. I don’t know how they will react to my dating so soon, and I’m afraid to ask for fear of upsetting them. What should I do? -- Widowed and Confused Dear Widowed: Dating is such a personal decision. Some people are ready in a month, while others never feel comfortable. Most folks would agree, however, that a year is a respectable amount of time to wait. You should feel free to date if you want to, but we also recommend you discuss this with your children. Let them know their father will never be forgotten, but you want to feel that happiness again someday and hope they will want that for you, too.

Dear Annie: I’d like to comment on the letter from “Wedding Gift Nightmare,” who gave her niece some antique china as a wedding gift.

My husband and I had been married less than five years when we took a vacation to meet his Aunt Susie. She served us a delicious lunch. As we cleared the table and washed dishes, she asked if I liked a particular serving bowl. I said I did. She replied, “Great. It’s your wedding present.” It seems it was a family heirloom and came with a neat story.

After 40 years of marriage, I still have the bowl and a story I never hesitate to tell. Treasure those old gifts. They can be quite special in years to come. -- Lucky Niece To all our Muslim readers: Happy Eid.

LACONIA — Local artist Winthrop Buswell was in Delaware, visiting with family, on September 11, 2001.

Like all Americans, he was glued to the TV,, sharing with millions everywhere the same extreme sadness, frustration and anger.

Not long after the tragedy, with the vivid photos from the media embedded in his mind, Buswell began to sketch a few images, eventually creating with pastels his emotional vision of the many who retreated that day from the area of the once standing World Trade Center.

The painting is entitled “9/11, The Finest Local artist Winthrop Buswell with his painting “9/11, The Finest And The Bravest”, which will be on And The Bravest”, and display through September at the Laconia Antique Center. (Courtesy photo) will be displayed at the Laconia Antique Center during the month of SepBuswell is also an accomplished singer, and is tember. It will be for sale, with proceeds going to scheduled to sing songs of the World War II era in the Laconia Fire Department’s “Laconia Life Saving an up-coming event at the Antique Center.
